Solution
Total sale for Shantaram:
For rice = 15000 + 18000 = ₹ 33000.
For wheat = 13000 + 15000 = ₹ 28000.
For groundnut = 12000 + 12000 = ₹ 24000.
Total sale for Kantaram:
For rice = 18000 + 21000 = ₹ 39000
For wheat = 15000 + 16500 = ₹ 31500
For groundnut = 8000 + 16000 = ₹ 24000
Alternate method:
Matrix form
= `[(15000, 13000, 12000),(18000, 15000, 8000)] + [(18000, 15000, 12000),(21000, 16500, 16000)]`
= `[(33000, 28000, 24000),(39000, 31500, 24000)]`
∴ The total sale of April and May of Shantaram in ₹ is ₹ 33000 (rice), ₹ 28000 (wheat), ₹ 24000 (groundnut) and that of Kantaram in ₹ is ₹ 39000(rice), ₹ 31500(wheat), and ₹ 24000 (groundnut).
